Following the brutal murder of Warrant Officer Nemugumoni on Monday night 12 February 2018, at Tshakhuma outside Thohoyandou, the police have on Wednesday 14 February 2018, arrested two suspects, including the daughter of the deceased aged 21.

First to be arrested was a 19 year old suspect who was nabbed consequent to a sterling detective assignment carried out by a team of operatives comprising members from Crime Intelligence, Thohoyandou Cluster Task Team, Detective Service and Crime Prevention.

Subsequent investigations by the same team led to the apprehension of the 21 year old daughter of the deceased whom is believed to have played a role in masterminding the demise of her father.

The motive for this incident is still being investigated.

The Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant General Nneke Ledwaba has expressed his delight and commended all members involved for succeeding in cracking this case within two days. He urged the members to be merciless in digging deep to unearth any possible remnants of this callous deed.

The suspects will appear in Vuwani Magistrate’s Court on Friday 16 February 2018.
